The Legislature.

Several resolutions of inquiry of no general importance were adopted in the Senate yesterday.

A joint resolution looking to the admission of the Senators elect from the 2d and 31st Senatorial districts, and suspending the provisions of the act which now prohibits such a course, was proposed, amended, and adopted.

A number of bills were advanced a stage.

The report of the Committee on Confederate Relations as to the liability of the Confederate Government for slaves lost in the service was taken up, when a discussion ensued which lasted some time. The first resolution was agreed to and the second selected.

Mr. Hunt, by leave, introduced a bill to authorize an increase of the salaries of the Professors of the University, and providing for the education of persons disabled by wounds received in the public service. Adjourned.

In the House, Mr. McCue's bill for the protection of sheep and to encourage the growth of wool was taken up on its third reading, and after various amendments, ryders, &c., all of which were rejected, the bill was passed — ayes 50, noes 46.

Thereupon the consideration of the militia bill was commenced in the House, it having passed the Senate, and consumed the remainder of the day.
